Tumultuous couple Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler had a blowout fight where police got involved over the custody of their two children on Monday.

The altercation began when Travis was supposed to return the kids to their ex-beauty-queen mom’s family home in Rhode Island. However, shit hit the fan when Travis met her with the kids, according to Life & Style.

“He started screaming and wouldn’t leave the kids with her.”

Earlier this month Travis and Shanna modified their custody agreement by allowing Travis take the kids on the road while he was on tour with his band Blink 182, but apparently they still aren’t on the same page. The fight got so bad that the 5-0 were called to the home.

“Officers were dispatched to that address about an hour ago,” Barrington, R.I., Police Sgt. Tim Harrington told the magazine.

“Travis wouldn’t leave because he wanted Shanna to let his nanny stay with her and the kids, but she refused,” the insider says. “When Travis refused to go, Shanna called the police. They gave Travis a choice: Leave or get arrested. So he left. But he wasn’t happy. He’s already twittered about Shanna.”

Travis has bashed his ex-wife and especially how she is raising their children via his Twitter page.

“My babies [sic] mama is a pile of sh*t,” he Tweeted.

He has also complained via Twitter about her allowing their kids to hang out with one of her family members who is a registered sex offender and exposed her for plotting with Perez Hilton to take down Carrie Prejean. How wonderful.

If Shanna really is allowing her children to hang around a convicted sex offender than we wholeheartedly agree with Travis - that would definitely make her a “pile of shit”!

Travis Barker blogged about how he is thankful to be alive during this Thanksgiving holiday after the former Bink 182 drummer had a brush with death in a September plane crash which was deadly for some of the other passengers

“I wanted to say thanks … and share my gratitude for everything I’ve been blessed with,” the rocker wrote in a Thanksgiving Weekend blog message. “Family, friends, and continued support from everyone. Thank you for life, and all the little ups and downs that make it worth living. My best to everyone.”

Barker and his pal DJ AM were both severely burned in the accident that killed four others. We’re thankful that both of them made it out alive!

Travis Barker is speaking out about his plane crash and even filing a lawsuit.

“I wouldn’t have been in the state I was in if I wasn’t in the crash,” he told E! News yesterday while at the Miss California USA event that he attended with Shanna Moakler. “You know, I wouldn’t have 3rd degree burns all over my body or be prohibited to do certain things. I can’t go swimming, I can’t do some of the things that normal people can do. I didn’t ask for that to happen.”

When asked if he thinks he would win the lawsuit, he stayed optimistic. “I don’t know. I just think positive. I mean, I think so—if something goes wrong that’s not supposed to go wrong or you fall victim of it, I think you should be compensated.”

And I think we all agree that he should be compensated, especially because he lost close friends in the accident.

“I lost two friends in the accident,” Travis said. “Nothing can bring them back or what I lost in the accident.”

This story is so sad and tragic and we really do hope that everything works out for Barker. On a lighter note, he also spoke about DJ AM and their future plans.

“We have been practicing together, and we have a show coming up on New Year’s Eve [in L.A.] so we’ve been rehearsing for it.”

The show will be at the Paramount lot in Hollywood. Despite their injuries, I’m sure it will be great!

Looks like former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker hasn’t missed a beat!

After sustaining devastating burns in a September plane crash with friend DJ AM, Barker is back to doing what he loves most and that’s playing music.

“I’m already playing my drums again and I’m already back in the studio,” Barker told MTV Sunday during an appearance on Total Finale Live.

He said getting back behind the drums is like riding a bike.

“It was like riding a bike,” Barker said via satellite from his L.A. studio. “It was really exciting to know I still have my chops. It still felt good. I still can make it around the kit. Everything felt right, so I’m thankful to be able to play.”

We’re glad Travis is recovering well and we can’t wait to see what kind of music he drums up in the future!

On September 19, Shanna Moakler learned ex-husband Travis Barker, with whom she had recently reconciled, had been in a plane crash that left the rocker with second- and third-degree burns on his hands and lower body. She’s speaking out now to Us Weekly magazine and says that she had a “bad feeling” about Barker getting on the private plane.

Us: Give Us the back story:

Moakler: I was supposed to go with [Travis] to South Carolina, and at the last minute, I had this gnarly feeling and said, “I don’t think we should fly together anymore.” Go forbid something ever happened- our kids wouldn’t have both parents. Instead of flying a commercial flight back home, they decided to take a private jet. He emailed me pictures of the plane and wrote, “It’s really small and scary.” I had a bad feeling, but didn’t want to sound strange, so I said,”Be safe.”

Us: How did you find out about the crash?

Moakler: When the paramedic called me, I thought it was [Travis and his bandmates] joking. I almost hung up on him. He said, “No, ma’am, I am very serious.” I was like, “Oh, my God. What do I do?” and started crying.

Looks like both her and Barker’s intuition kicked in before the fatal crash. You should always listen to your gut!

Travis Barker shared some of his pictures of his time in the burn unit at the hospital after he and DJ AM were injured in a plane crash, which sadly killed four others. Barker uploaded the photos on his MySpace page and wrote a sweet message thanking his fans for their support.

Travis Barker exclusively opens up in the new issue of Us Weekly for the first time since his tragic September 19 plane crash that killed four. He and DJ AM - the only survivors of the crash - suffered second and third degree burns on their hands and lower body.

“I hate planes,” Barker told the magazine. “My biggest fear ever is to be involved in a plane crash, so when that happened … well, I’m just thankful to be alive! I’m just grateful to be here at all.”

Travis talked to Us from the Grossman Burn Center in Los Angeles, where he is now being treated. (He said he was too afraid to fly cross-country from Georgia - where he initially recovered in a burn unit - so he arranged to travel by bus with his father and ex-wife Shanna Moakler.)

Here’s some excerpts from the interview:

How are you doing?

“I am doing the best I can possibly be. I’m so anxious to get out of here. …I’ve just been in surgery after surgery. I have third degree burns basically from my feet up to my waist and both hands. One of my hands was second degree burns and one was third degree burns. I’m trying to have a quick recovery and play the drums again and be able to hold my kids again. [Barker has two children, Landon, 5, and Alabama, 2, with Moakler.] I’m going nuts not being able to see them and spend time with them!”

After over 25 years as a vegetarian, you had to start eating meat again. Why?

“I need protein from food rather than just protein supplements. I changed my diet. I would do anything I possibly could if they said like, ‘There’s a possibility you might heal faster if you do eat meat or just change your eating habits.’ So I did. I don’t regret it at all, I feel so much better.”

How much longer will you be in the hospital?

“Oh gosh, I hope not much longer. I sit here and I read books and watch TV. I think if this surgery went well, I’ll be here for at most two weeks.”

We’re glad Barker is doing well and hope he does get to go home soon!

The weekend brought good news for Travis Barker who was involved in a fatal plane crash with pal DJ AM.

Doctors released Barker this morning from the burn unit at a Georgia hospital he’s been recovering in since the accident. Barker’s ex-wife, Shanna Moakler, escorted the drummer out of the hospital and has been by his side since the crash.

“Travis is in good condition and was discharged this morning,” Burn Center spokesperson Beth Frits told People.com today.

“He has left Augusta.”

We’re happy that AM and Barker have made such a speedy recovery!

Shanna Moakler is still standing vigil over ex-hubby Travis Barker, who was involved in a fatal jet crash over the weekend with pal, DJ AM.

Shannon released the following statement, according to usmagazine.com:

“There are not enough words to express how thankful we are for the outpouring of love and support we have received during this very difficult time. We can only ask for prayers as we heal and mourn the
loss of our dear friends who we considered part of our family. Our lives will be changed forever.”

Moakler isn’t the only one that has made the trip to the Georgia burn unit to support Barker in his recovery. Celebrity friends, Jermaine Dupri and DJ Steve Aoki have also made the trip to visit their friend.

“It’s a seriously sad situation,” Dupri told Usmagazine.com. “He’s doing good… but I really hate to see my friends go through this.”

This is such a sad story to have to report, but as we previously posted, we are praying for Barker and DJ AM and wish them a fast and full recovery.
